13 years agoperf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo [Fri, 26 Nov 2010 21:39:15 +0000 (19:39 -0200)]
perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.

For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.

Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,

The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.

Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to

return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all

This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its

The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the

guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as

perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":

- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".

In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):

"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."

This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's.  However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}

start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation

There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through

This reverts commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a.

It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:

 "On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
  and my box would not boot.  klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
  system.

  At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
  after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in.  It dropped back to the
  text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
  of time.  dmesg surprisingly still works.  I've bisected the problem
  down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)

  The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty).  Yes, I know
  that's old.  I read the bit in the commit about changing the
  permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
  help."

So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts.  This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths

from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).

Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when

Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
